Greetings WFMU listeners including this week's featured listener Timi D... in San Francisco, CA - the Bay mayn where other diehard listeners to WFMU include Porckhop in SF, LS Monkey in West Oakland, Jessica in B-town (Berkeley), and Andrew in SF......Reminder to Sean Daily - last week's honored listener - no "WOO HOO" allowed today....only first commenter gets to say WOO HOO.....otherwise it gets played out and will cause Bryce to hang himself again.......>>>>But on another level TODAY'S COMMENT BOARD THREAD is this: THINGS THAT YOU ARE GRATEFUL FOR IN YOUR LIFE? In times like this, an era of financial challenges and recession when a lot of folks are losing their jobs and homes - it is more important than ever, I think, to focus on the positives in our lives. So I am asking you, dear listener/commenter, what are some of the things in your life that you feel grateful or happy about? I know I have a ton of them which I will enter later down below.....But what are yours?
